But also you have the I'm doing 70, SO go Fook yaself brigade, which is why the new law about lane hogging has been brought into force.

Sure you do.
Hasn't lane hogging always been illegal? Certainly dangerous driving. As is sitting in lane 2 when lane 1 is empty.

But that's nothing to do with tailgating. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Are you seriously saying lane hogging is dangerous driving?

Not actually a new law, but new penalties. But I know what you mean.

I'll rise to your bait = Yes - because it makes other cars drive around you undertaking into the paths of other vehicles. I've seen it happen.

That makes you guilty of dangerous driving also.

It would depend on the exact circumstances. But it would more likely be driving without due care and attention.

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to be precise.

I can't believe all the inaccurate assumptions here. I NEVER said I drive below lorry speed limit on the motorway. I drive perfectly normally on the motorway.

Lorries are speed limited to 56mph, another wonderful EU law.

If you have lorries catching you up on the motorway, you are driving below 56mph, unless you happen to be on a really steep downhill section, or the lorry was made before limiters were introduced, which I'm fairly sure was some time in the 80s?
